@gimulnautti @crazyeddie @zleap @davetroy this stuff is all getting too crazy and a good place to insert a recommendation for this book read

It's all coming down to the build out of "smart" cities. Look into the players building Brazil's. Them choosing not to allow Xsquawk in their country won't mean they won't allow home grown TruthBrazil (made it up) to prosper without major competition.

Now that the price for compute has come down drastically as well as solar for power, the only thing people can do to battle the machines (blocs) controlling the machines, is if everyone turns off all their networked crap as a "whole," as if that would ever happen voluntarily, or the device that would give them simple transmit/receive be manufactured at hyperscale so anyone wanting to connect to the public at large can do so without a fascist filter. It can be built. Plenty on this planet live that way already. It's a matter of getting that ability into the hands of everyone, and fast. This is strictly for bouncing around in ActivityPub land, mind you, not everywhere in the digiverse! We still need to leave that playground for the hackers. #gibberish but not really.

@crazyeddie @gimulnautti @zleap @davetroy not confident ActivityPub is the magic bullet either, but with 4 days to launch, that seems to be the only one loaded in the chamber with people already interested and on the move.
